Weekly Report: 2026-03-06

This week a team member started time-off due to parental leave. After finishing pending dependencies, we opened our second upstream PR, porting the genesis test in to a new data structure intended for our executable to consume. We also finished defining our test case serialization format and re-opened conversations with the ouroboros-consensus and cardano-api teams to coordinate the landing of our executables.

Started working on the last remaining issues of milestone 3, which will complete our runner executable:

• How to configure cardano-node to start in the Conway era
• Switch getting node state from N2C to N2N

Work on milestone 4 continues. We completed the test suite definition and serialization format, which were the remaining dependencies to implement our testgen executable.

• Implement SmallKey class and generic instance Consensus fork PR #49
• Add test case serialization Consensus fork PR #31.
